Simonds 84139500 Swiss Pattern File

The Simonds 84139500 is a 6-inch half-round precision file designed for detailed shaping work on metals such as aluminium, brass, bronze, steel and tin. Its Swiss pattern construction and smooth Number 4 cut provide fine control for finishing curved surfaces and corners. The rigid, double-cut face and safe edges help prevent unwanted scratches on adjacent faces during use. This tool suits jewellers, model makers and metalworkers needing accurate material removal in tight profiles.

Boxed Storage and Safe Edge Design

The file ships in a protective box that keeps the cutting surfaces clean and prevents damage during transport or storage. Safe edges mean the narrow sides of the half-round profile are uncut, allowing you to file up to a shoulder or corner without marring the vertical face. The natural finish on the file body resists corrosion without adding coating thickness that could affect fit in fine work. These features extend the tool's service life and maintain cutting consistency.

Verify Material Compatibility and Profile Needs

Before ordering, confirm that a smooth-cut, half-round profile matches the radii and access constraints of your project. The file is intended for non-ferrous and softer ferrous metals; it is not suited for hardened steels or aggressive stock removal on large flat areas. Buyers who need a coarser cut for rapid material removal or a different profile shape for flat or round work should select an alternative specification.
